hi. I've owned the auditors and now own the guarneri. Keep in mind your system will only be as good as it's weakest component. there is no point in running $50k of electronics into the auditors, they will sound better, but not worth the investment. if you are trying to pair the auditors with a nicely matched amp, the SF musica, was the most musical amp i auditioned. if you plan to upgrade the auditors soon, then i would step up more (on the integrated side consider BAT, CJ, Jadis). Right now I am driving the guarneris with the musica and know i am not getting what i can out of the Gs.
Sonus Faber Auditor with 20 tube watts?
The auditors aren't super efficient (88db) and they have a lowish impedence (4 ohm). I've got a Primaluna Dialogue 1 integrated and prefer triode mode which is something like 18 watts. Fortunately I have a small room so volume has never been a problem with my current Paradigm Signature S2s.
Will the Sonus Faber's be a sufficient match? Does anyone have experience with lower output tube amps and this speaker? Will the load be too difficult?
